John Ruskin, from Unto This Last (1860): THERE IS NO WEALTH BUT LIFE. Life, including all its powers of love, of joy, and of admiration. That country is the richest which nourishes the greatest number of noble and happy human beings; that man is richest who, having perfected the functions of his own life to the utmost, has also the widest helpful influence, both personal and by means of his possessions, over the lives of others. A strange political economy; the only one, nevertheless, that ev...| The Homebound Symphony

Workplace Design shouldn’t be a paint by numbers job. But there’s one number that interests me in particular. A recent post by Bruce Daisley caught my eye.

Do you often make snap judgments about people that leave you feeling disconnected and alone? In our swipe-left culture, we’ve become experts at writing people off at the first sign of imperfection, but psychologist Ali Fenwick argues this approach is robbing us of meaningful connections.

I started a tradition a little while back where every year we have a special departmental colloquium entitled "The Nobel Prize in Physics: Who/What/Why". This year my job in finding speakers was made easier by having 2/3 of this years newly-minted Nobel Prize winners in physics in the Department! (Michel Devoret and John Martinis.)

To some, making art and reviewing contracts are like oil and water—they don’t mix. In reality, many working artists will at some point engage in a binding agreement with another person or party for a gig, sale, commission, fiscal sponsorship, grant award, exhibition, or collab. But I suspect I’m not the only artist who feels like an imposter when I “review” my contracts. How can I possibly protect myself or my work, without legal training or expertise?| Inciter Art

It’s quite unlike any other conference I’ve been to, which is explicitly the point.

I’ve been thinking a lot about leadership lately, for no reason at all connected to the news or the state of social media or the way we’ve constructed an economic sytem that allows petulant man-children to set billions of dollars on metaphorical fire because strangers on the internet made fun of him while simultaneously pretending that homelessness is an intractable inevitability that can only be solved by brutalizing the unhoused rather than taking away those billions of dollars from afo...| The Roof is on Phire
The concept of “work” is a Rorschach test, an inkblot that you can project pretty much anything onto. There are definitions that speak of a meaningless Sisyphean grind inside an oppressive and cruel economic system designed to extract the maximum possible short-term value from all its constituent parts. There are also definitions that evoke the sincere joy of putting care and attention toward something worth nurturing, and shepherding its growth through consistent, deliberate effort.
